Guess what? These things happen and most of the time nobody ever hears about it. I don't recall seeing a post for you guys, "Voth OUT at KC!!!" The story about Ford sending in the wrong spec is entirely possible and this (small) issue will be resolved, just like most other tech violations.
And in the interest of fair reporting, would you (and many others here) be making such a big deal out of this if it was a supercharged LS7 Camaro or Corvette that got tossed for the same violation?
Just saying.

Good points, but a little "outdated" We checked our heads, and they checked correct. Layer checked them and they also checked correct. We didn't check them prior to assembly, but again, would have checked ok anyway with our equipment. You didnt' see a post named voth out at kc, but I did create a thread on the subject right after it happen, so you might want to research your topic before you start stating things that are inaccurate. The ford issue will be resolved soon, no doubt, but the fact that it happened is just funny to me. I doubt it would happen with GM. I expect this sort of thing from a lesser car manufacturer. It's no secret I dislike fords, or the fact that their racing products have been inferior to GM for many years. Ratio of GM to ford at the track speaks for itself. But in the interest of being fair, it wouldn't suprise me if someone made note of a similar violation, if occured in the GM camp. I just don't think that GM would make a mistake like that. Even though this "small" issue will be resolved, it's the fact that it occured in the first place.
And, seriously, rules are rules, and even though it doesn't make a difference overall, NHRA made the right call, as they did with us in KC last fall. We corrected ours, they will correct the CJ's paperwork, and we'll all move on like we always do.
